Abstract
Ninety nine patients with myocardial infarction underwent transluminal balloon angioplasty of infarct-related coronary artery in the acute p eriod of the disease. Patients subjected to angioplasty had significan tly better short- and long-term prognosis (rare attacks of angina and reinfarctions, improved survival) compared to similiar patients treate d medically. Effect of angioplasty persisted for a long time after the procedure in about 2/3 of patients. Basing on thee results wider use of coronary angioplasty in acute myocardial infarction is recommended.
